Why we cannot witness a revival
in the churches, shrinking day by day,
which are in the mode of survival?
Maybe, it's because we don't pray?
Maybe, it's because we are too busy
with our homes, families, and work,
choosing lifestyles rather easy,
seeing not the detriments that lurk?
Seeing not the mobilizing forces
of the evil nature that attack
Christians, resulting in divorces,
pushing us from God to sidetrack.
When we don't stand against abortions,
letting politicians go unchecked,
if we don't expose the truth distortions,
what can we, if truth be said, expect?
When we no longer stand for others,
who are persecuted by the state,
the demonic horde today gathers
and decides then the churches' fate.
If we are just words without actions,
with our moral standards compromised,
entering with Satan in transactions,
then the churches' work is paralyzed.
How can we break this vicious cycle?
How to become a fruitful wine?
Daily seeking Jesus Christ is vital,
making Him in our lives shine.
Not rejecting them, who were rejected,
not reproaching them for their past,
those, who no longer are respected,
giving love and hope to them at last...
This is what the churches should be doing,
visiting the prisoners and ill,
always God's principles pursuing,
following His guidance and His will.
When we are approaching tribulations,
if we seek the truth and stand for it,
then we'll be victorious in temptations,
by the Holy Spirit will be lit.
In repentance turning our ways
to the One, who can our souls revive,
if we Him in our troubles praise,
He is able making us to thrive!

Psalm 80:19
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

How can the church revival start?
It has beginning in the heart.
When we are humble and contrite,
then darkness gives the room to Light!
The greatest Light that's ever been,
if we on Christ alone lean,
can make us, by His love ignited,
to be so moved and so exited,
that we can no longer hide
the Truth, creating then a tide
of souls touched by the Good News,
to others love of Christ transfuse.
Then the community of those
believing that Christ Jesus rose
from death to life, they can
bring Light around to each man!
